VLC for Windows 8 reaches $65,000 funding goal on Kickstarter with five days to spareVideoLAN, the developers behind VLC—one of our favorite video players—have just reached their Kickstarter goal of $65,000 towards funding a Metro version of VLC. The Windows 7 version of VLC only works on Windows 8's desktop mode. The new version will be fully compatible with Windows RT and the live tile interface. Also, since the Kickstarter deadline isn't until December 29, VideoLAN has decided to use any extra money towards adding new features like camera input support, locally attached device integration, and support for Microsoft's remote-control/second screen SmartGlass app. [The Next Web]
